EPIK Application Wait Time

Well I was nearly on the nose with my first prediction. I got my confirmation email for my EPIK application two days before I thought I would. :)

Other than providing the Attached Documents File, which you can find in the second tab on my page cleverly labeled "Required Documents After Passed Interview" or on EPIK's website here: www.epik.kr under application > required documents, and giving you the link to the Facebook group for other applicants in your term, the EPIK coordinators give an idea of what the wait time is going to be.

This term they say they will begin processing applications in the last week of March, which means that if you're like me and waited nearly three weeks after the first day to apply (February 1st) it might be more of a wait considering you're down a little further in the queue.

Last time I applied I think it was like 2 days in. I was basically hovering over the EPIK website and Facebook page waiting for them to say they'd begun taking applications. Because of this my next timeline prediction is probably going to be about a week or two early. Now I'm thinking I'll probably hear something by the second or third week of April. *My birthday month!*

I'm looking forward to being accepted on the Facebook Fall 2014 page though. It's interesting seeing how many people have already applied through EPIK (106 so far in the group). I'm sure that some haven't joined the group, and some are using recruitment agencies, but still it's a good general idea. The Spring 2014 page ended up having like 600+ people so it gives me a good idea of where I stand in line.

Next thing I have to do is get started on my documents!! I didn't have my diploma last time, but now it's sitting 5 feet away from me so that's less stress. I need to get my fingerprints done. Somewhere...
And I need to find my passport. :-/ I haven't seen it since I moved. I'll feel much better after I get my CRC and Apostilles sent away.

XOXO
